Bfl-s1 Rubber Gym Tile 20 mm — Black, 100 x 100 cm

The Bfl-s1 20 mm rubber gym tile is the plain black floor tile carrying the highest fire classification of the catalogue under EN 13501-1: 100 x 100 cm, 15 kg per tile, antistatic, with the French fire classification report (PV Feu) supplied at order. Price: 45 EUR excluding VAT per m2.

Specified for the strictest fire prescriptions

Rubber floor fire ratings run from Efl (private use) through Dfl-s1 and Cfl-s1 up to Bfl-s1, the top class a rubber covering can achieve. This tile exists for buildings where the safety commission demands more than Cfl-s1: hospitals, clinics, nurseries, care homes, schools, category 1 public buildings, basements and technical floors. Its contribution to fire spread is minimal and its s1 smoke index preserves visibility during evacuation — the decisive criterion where occupants move slowly.

The document that gets projects approved

For a public-access building in France, the European class alone is not enough: the safety commission examines the classification report issued by a recognised laboratory. This tile ships with its French PV Feu at order, so the compliance file is complete before the floor is even laid — a detail that regularly saves weeks on institutional projects.

A working gym floor, not just a compliant one

Beyond the rating, this is a 20 mm high-quality recycled SBR tile with a medium-grain black surface: slip-resistant, antistatic, disinfectable — relevant for healthcare settings — and suitable for loose or glued installation, indoors or outdoors. At 15 kg per square-metre tile it lies flat and stable under cardio equipment, strength machines and free-weight zones with controlled set-downs. Manufacturing defects are covered for 5 years.

Frequently asked questions

When is Bfl-s1 actually required?

When the building type or category raises the prescription above Cfl-s1: healthcare, early childhood, education, high-category public buildings, or particular contexts such as basements. Your safety commission or inspection body sets the class — send them this tile’s datasheet and PV before ordering.

What does the s1 smoke index add?

The letter rates contribution to fire; the s index rates smoke opacity. s1 is the strictest level: it keeps escape routes visible, which matters more than flame spread in the first minutes of an evacuation.

Can it be used in normal gym zones too?

Yes. It behaves like any professional 20 mm SBR tile — cardio, machines, circulation, dumbbells set down with control. For dedicated heavy drop zones, thicken locally to 40 mm.
